The return to earth.
We take part in a European project, led by the University of
Minho, to promote the recovery of organic waste. This was one of the
projects approved in the scope of the Interreg V-A Spain - Portugal
program, funded by the European Union and relying on the participation
of partners in Galicia.
Through the production of compost that is rich in humic substances, formed as this waste decomposes chemically and biologically.
What is our goal?
Promoting composting as a management system for organic waste, in
order to reduce the quantity of waste delivered to landfill and to
recover the compost produced in applications of high added value.
Fernanda Proença, researcher from the Chemistry Center at the University of Minho and leader of the project, states: "This
new initiative opens doors for the emergence of new business and
employment areas related to the conception of articles of high added
value and contributing towards the development of the green economy in
this cooperative space".
